“I am the blood of the dragon” Daenerys Targaryen.

If I was a betting man I could probably tell you that Daenerys is one of the few characters in Games of Thrones that will not be killed. She’s got too much going on in my opinion, much like Jon Snow. I’m sure she’s going to have a defining moment in the last book, at least I hope. However, you never know what R.R. Martin will come up with…

I had a few issues making her in clay. She had to be a lot smaller than the other characters, and I had to make her a lot thinner in order to keep her female look. I had to add a strong armature with feet for her to be able to stand with the weight of her hair. Also, her arms could not be huge like the other characters, so I did a bit of a different style on her. When I first finished her, I had made her with blond hair, then switched it to white hair, which I think it makes her look a lot better. It was a bit of a pain, but it was fun seeing her come to life. I’ll be using the same technique with the other females. Also, I will be adding her little dragons later, and maybe I’ll add Drogo’s horsey. I hope you like it!
